LAPTOP

Acer Swift Edge 16

NEW ENTRY

£1,299 from www.snipca.com/47480 Tested Issue 667 This is a much better all-rounder than Acer’s Swift 3, and so replaces it as our top choice. It’s faster, has a sharp 16in screen – two inches bigger than the Swift 3 – and comes with more ports, including two USB-C ports, two USB 3.0 ports and HDMI. It’s 13mm thick with the lid closed and weighs a mere 1.25k

ALTERNATIVE Lenovo Yoga 6 Gen 7

Has a slower processor, but with a 15-hour battery and a great 13.3in screen it remains a good laptop for the price. £549 from www.snipca.com/44950.

ANDROID TABLET

NEW

ENTRY

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9

£690 from www.snipca.com/47493 Tested Issue 667 With a much brighter screen than our previous favourite – the Galaxy Tab S8 – this is perfect for watching TV. It also has a faster processor, so tasks feel smoother, even with several windows open. It’s a great buy even at its full price of £799, so this discounted deal is an absolute steal.

ALTERNATIVE Lenovo Tab P11 Pro It’s slower than the Tab S9 and the screen is duller, but has a detachable keyboard so you can use it as a laptop. £395 from

DESKTOP PC

Palicomp

AMD Cobra

£400 from www.snipca.com/43515 Tested Issue 643 This fast PC is a mouth-watering bargain, with 16GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD and a six-core processor – though it lacks USB-C ports and built-in Wi-Fi.

ALTERNATIVE Wired2Fire Ultima WS Home Office Workstation Blisteringly fast PC, powered by an overclocked eight-core processor and 1TB SSD. £634 from www.snipca.com/41500

APPLE iPHONE

PRICE DROP

Apple iPhone 13

£599 from www.snipca.com/43498 Tested Issue 627 Now £200 cheaper than its 2021 launch price, the iPhone 13 has a superb screen, long battery life and an excellent camera -
particularly for taking quick snaps without blurring. You could pay £799 for the newer iPhone 15, but we’re not convinced it’s worth the extra money.

ALTERNATIVE iPhone SE With a single camera and smaller screen but the same powerful A13 processor and 64GB storage as the iPhone 11, it’s great value. £429 from www.snipca.com/34773

APPLE iPAD

Apple iPad 10.2in

£369 from www.snipca.com/36178 Tested Issue 623 The 9th-generation of the basic iPad, released in 2021, is now the best-value Apple tablet. The 2022 version looks better and has a faster processor, but it’s not worth paying £130 extra for.

ALTERNATIVE iPad Mini With an even better, but smaller, screen than the 10.2in iPad, the Mini also supports the Pencil and has 64GB of storage. £569 from www.snipca.com/33050

ANDROID PHONE

Google Pixel 7a
